Why are Italians so autistic?
What do you think a Roman legionary would have to say about Italia if he traveled forward in time to today?

Wtf Americans don't ask for restaurant bills? Must be the only country in the world really
>>52057933
this. I ask for my bill when i want. Gringos are pretty meme.
>>52057933
Depends, if the cunt is taking too long to bring it out or if the restaurant is busy then it's not uncommon to flag her down "Ay love, were ready for the bill" but most of the time if it looks like you're done, they'll ask if you're ready for the bill and they'll bring it out.
>>52057933
Must be a German thing. In Porto Alegre no one brings the bill, the bill stays in your table all the time. But whenever i go to those culturally German small town, they bring the bills as soon i finish eating.
>>52056812
O tempora o mores
wtf I'm reading?
The article is written as if they were strange things made by crazy people, you are strange if you do it, the #6 damn, what's wrong with americans?
>>52058666
today I had a cappuccino at 1pm, suck my dick faggot
>>52058094
It is not. In the "real" Germany it is frowned upon and very rude to bring the bill right after the meal without a signal from the guest, that they are finished with talking lingering and relaxing. Just like the Italians (or all the other Europeans really) you'd have to ask for it when you feel ready to go. Der Gast ist König.
>>52058967
Nothing wrong with that, also the #10 is ok, sit and enjoy the meal is better but eat something while walking is ok
>>52058666
I drink cappuccino in the afternoon around 4 pm regularly, even to go
Is it true that it in Italy is also an etiquette mistake to not live with your parents after the age of 35?
>>52056812
>whats with all this jew shit
>>52056738
Mistake #12: Not switching sides and joining the waitstaff halfway through your meal
>>52056738
>you should waste 3 hours eating dinner
>>52057933
>>52057984
They usually bring the bill and drop it off after they've cleared your plates from the table as they see no reason for why you'd want to stay after you've finished.
And also because, due to tipping culture, you're taking up a table and time that could mean a new table of people and a new tip.
Although if you go to a "fancy" restaurant (~$100 per person or more) then you typically ask for the bill or they will ask if you're ready.
>>52059361
I never once tipped when I was in USA, feels good mayne
>>52059361
Any decent restaurant (at least where I live) don't care if you stick around to talk after you've finished eating.
>>52059306
That's an exaggeration.
It happened to be at the table for more than two hours, wedding dinner or things like that, people remain at the table to chat, no one asks you to go even if you have finished
>>52058666
Parmesan on pizza and pasta is good as fuck
>>52059588
Pasta yes
Pizza nope nope nope
>>52058666
Most pizza places in Murrica have one shaker with parmesan in it, another shaker with red pepper flakes
>>52058094
>>52057933
This
>>52059114
The only time I/we ever received a bill without asking for it directly was when a bar was closing and the owner just wanted to go to sleep.
>>52056738
>bread is for dipping into leftover sauces
I think there was a thread once where an Italian said that using bread to scoop up leftover sauces was only something that Terroni do in public.
>>52056738
what do all these Mediterranean states have against proper fucking breakfast? is because they're all jobless lazy faggots who don't get out of bed until 12:00 in the afternoon?
>>52056738
Its quite adorable how some people still have strict national rules on something. Although, their laziness can sometimes get in your way. No shops becayse of three hour lunch break? Goddamit, italians.
>>52059811
>three hour lunch break
you're lucky if you get an hour here in the states. it's usually just 30 minutes.
>>52058032
>uncommon (....) flag
>>52058666
As someone who doesn't really like parmesan, I love Italy. People don't force excessive amounts of cheese on my fucking pasta. Seriously, at most of the restaurants here, they just give you a mountain of cheese with out asking you.
>>52059858
I know that, but Jesus, they take it TOO far. I was in Italy a year ago, and literally no shop worked in the afternoon.
>>52059631
What is the most important ingredient of pizza? Mozzarella akak cheese
You're adding something that is already there, and if the parmesan improves your pizza means your mozzarella sucks
>>52059787
That's why murrica is the fattest country

You must be the one to point out that you don't want
>from Naples
>mfw all of them are true
Only #10 is kinda false, as youngsters usually eat thinga on the go.
>>52059975
Most of the time they don't even tell you about the cheese. They just give it to you assuming that you want it.

Goddamn, if you want to run down the street eating a plate of Spaghetti covered in imitation American parm with a glass of skim milk and water from a hose you should be allowed to.
>>52059977
I dont understand why putting parmesan powder or red pepper flakes is such a crazy thing for you guys.
Some people like some additional things on their pizza, nothinf wrong with that. Lots of people here put ranch on pizza.
>>52060118
Pretty sure you can only do that in Italy if you're an American. They always assume we don't know better.
im not an ass hole so i will respect cultural norms in a country i am visiting, but the coffee ones are quite autistic. i dont think i'd follow those ones.
>>52060159
Because when you order a plate of pasta, you are ordering something with a very specific taste.
When you go to add parmesan on plates that don't need it you're essentially destroying a very well calculated taste just for the taste of parmisan, so you might aswell order a plate of pasta with oil and cheese.
As with chilly flakes, we have those here too and most restoraunts will gladly bring them when asked.
>>52060159
>Ranch
You mean fat girls?
Only fat girls use fat girl sauce.
>Trying to lose weight by eating these baby broccoli and carrot pieces

>>52060243
I fucjing despise ranch tbg. I like vinagrette or greek dressing on salad. And as far as broccoli goes just some pepper.
>>52060780
Is this a meme? Ive never seen anyone actually do this, you can get a jar of pasta sauce thats as cheap as ketchup in any store
>>52058666
they are strange things desu

MA CHE
I am far too autistic for Italy. I usually eat lunch while walking then chug a water bottle before arriving at my destination and call it a solid meal.
>>52060841
i have an obese acquaintance that eats fucking everything with ketchup. he will take plain cooked mince, no spices, nothing, put ketchup on it and eat it, cunt's fucked
>>52059194
ancient rome was a lot more jewish than modern italy m80
>>52060952
>>52060952
I never heard of putting ketchup on spaghetti until I saw pics here. Sounds like something my ex-roommate would have done. The fucker used to add a lot of sugar to spaghetti. Never shared a meal with him again after the first time.
>4, 8 & 10
why? Can some Italian please explain why it's wrong to chew some bread before the main meal or ask for more water/wine?
About the 10 I understand it better, since it's repulsive to see people eating and munching on the bus or subway... not just so on a square or park tho.
>>52062446
>I dip my bread in oil
Never change, Texas.
>>52062446
From what I understand 8 isn't saying that you can't ask for more water/wine, but that if you ask the wrong person that's bad? I guess the person who brings you food and the person you ask for food are different and they get mad if you confuse them, idk.
I would also assume that eating bread before the main meal would just fill you up and then you can't enjoy the main meal as much.
>>52059306
>waste
More like invest three hours into enjoying life and strengthening social relationships.
>>52062614
Fuck off Raj.
>>52062627
Yeah, I think about the last part too... a lot of times I've got so full of bread that nearly touched my food... but when you're starving and there's fresh bread there looking at you, pointing menacily, I like to eat it without being looked even more weirder than usually for not looking like the average Chilean (No, I'm not white or black)
>>52062861
>I'm not like the other Chileans
>>52062816
the coffee part is fucking retarded
these dumb wops can suck my dick
>>52058666
I found those customs normal.
Dipping bread in vinegar is fucking barbaric to be honest family.
>>52059977
There's a lot of awesome street foot in Naples (those deep fried fruti di mare) also Naples is dirty as fuck who cares if you eat on the street. The Rome thing of not eating on the go is because they feel superior.
>>52056738
a lot of the text in this pic is bullshit, until you pay you can eat stones and we'll be happy (to have your money)

isn't that how they do it in every country?
>le 3 hours lunch meme
no, the average is 45 mnutes ~ 1 hour.
Only at Christamas or weddings we spend several hours eating.
>3 hours lunch
kek classic clickbait
>>52056738
>Or snide comments from the servers (Yes, the people you're paying for for the food.)
Why do americans seem to think that being a client makes them some kind of untouchable god?
>>52067218
manchildren, all of them
>>52056738
I can't even tell if this person is actually from Italy, most of the things he/she writes sound like an italian stereotype from the us
1) You should check if breakfast is included with the stay at the hotel, that's how it works everywhere
2) That's just common sense, if you drink something with a strong flavour before the actual meal you ruin the taste
3) Nobody cares
4) Dipping your bread in oil sounds fat as fuck but if you like it i guess...
5) Nobody cares
6) Parmesan on pizza sounds just wrong
7) It's fine on some things but can be overpowering on others, use your discretion i guess?
8) No idea what he/she means by different person, every server is fine... unless it actually means wanting more wine for the same price or something? I don't know
9) Yeah, ordering free stuff at a restaurant sounds weird
10) Nobody cares
11) American thing? Asking for your bill sounds like something everyone does

who the fuck puts parmesan cheese on a pizza?
>>52067373
americans, that's who.
>>52067218
Because they literally pay extra for attractive waitresses to treat their greasy asses like kings every time they go out.
>>52067390
Oh man, americans seem to have a lot of self-worth issues.
Is that a consequence, or a cause of their obesity?
>>52067373
No idea but on pasta it's somewhat common over here, since our Italian cheese selection is terrible. Parmesan is the default topping cheese for Pasta.
> Mfw Captcha was pasta
>>52062446
>chew some bread
nothing I do it all the time, I used to have my mum tell me to top because it ruind your appetite, that's it, you can eat 2 kg of bread before lunch nobody cares.
>ask for more water wine
I think the yank there is trying to say that if you ask for a bottle of wine and they don't bring it right away you shouldn't ask for it again because you might ask a different waiter and end up with two bottles of wine, sounds like a mistake someone made and he got butthurt.
>>52067432
yeah we do it for pasta, but pizza is weird, it's already covered in cheese
>>52067432
it is standard for pasta here too, unless it's got fish in it.
btw why would someone be surprised that we have many traditions?
we are an ancient nation I'm sure china has about the same amount of social rules.
>>52067429
As they say in American - Porque no los dos?
Tipping culture is a cheap shot at Americans though because the whole thing is so easily fixable. Raise the minimum wage by a few dollars so you're on parity with everyone else in the western world. Then you can tip only when the service is exceptional, and don't need to deprive a poor waiter or waitress of their livelihood.
do you think italians get constipated a lot with all the meat, bread and cheese they eat?
>>52067617
We also eat a lot of vegetales
>>52056738
Why is that writer so fat that he needs to dip fucking bread in olive oil
>>52068082
Because he is american.
>>52068082
They do it in "italian" restaurants in America, I've seen americans eat here too and they are out of control with the olive oil, they pour it everywhere in industrial quantities, a simple salad becomes a 1000 calories dish in the hands of a yank.
>>52056738
I'm Italian and I do most of those things.
Stop giving a fuck.
